"All food was tasty, high-quality dishes, and down to the fresh herbs and salad, sides, and even homemade ketchup and aioli."
"The food was seasoned perfectly, not salty or greasy."
Cons:
"The trout rilettes were so salty that we could not finish. The schnitzel was not crispy enough."
"The Schnitzel is just ok, certainly not worth the $ 32 price tag for pork/chicken."
"Broccoli appetizer was overcooked, did not appear roasted as stated on menu."
"While tasty, the food wasn't as authentic-ly delicious as expected, especially the potato salad."
"The food could use a bit more flavor - the schnitzel had a wonderful seasoning on its breading but needed more of it."
"Everything was tasteless. No flavor."
"The main highlight of schnitzel was a disappointment. Flat breaded and fried meats have a lot of flavoring potential due to high surface area to volume but both the pork and chicken schnitzel we had didn't have much flavor."

"Service was amazing and friendly, and server was very knowledgeable."

"The staff was friendly but very slow."

Ambiance

"So comfy and cozy! Loved the communal dining atmosphere."
"Inside was cozy, warm, and inviting."
"Overall outstanding service and really nice atmosphere."
"You feel like you are in an old country farmhouse."
"Beautifully designed restaurant with good music and delicious, creative, artfully presented food."
Cons:
"It's VERY loud, so not great for business meetings or intimate conversation."
"The restaurant was really cold."
"The ambiance is nice but the tight quarters make it hard for the servers to provide fast service."
"We also had issues with the soup that made it seem it might not be the freshest."
"The Schnitzel is just so flatz tasteless...."
"The restaurant is a very small space which makes it that much more impressive what they’ve done with it."
"The entrance is divided into two ways, One is for Normal people and other is for unfit people which are on the wheelchairs."
Portion Size
Pros:
"The portions are very generous too."
"Bang for your buck it’s the best in the city."
"The portion sizes were insane and we saw practically everyone taking the leftovers home in boxes."
"The schnitzel portion was smaller than pretty much every German restaurant I've ever been to, but it was still a very filling meal."
"The portions were generous, making it not just a feast for our taste buds but also a treat for our wallets."
"For just $45, we indulged in a dinner that was nothing short of splendid."
"We loved the Spaetzle and Rib Eye, both flavorful and cooked to perfection."
Cons:
"The food portions are so small."
"The serving sizes were cut down to the point where it is embarrassing."
"The food was good but it didnt have much options when it comes to eating."
"3 thick asparagus shoots, 3 slices of cold cut ham, one or two chunks of purple potato = $38. I was in shock with how measly the portions were."
"The food was good but portions were on the small side."
"A few vegan items were not available from the regular menu which was disappointing on a Friday."
"Some things were blatantly over-priced, such as the $4 cokes (no refills)."
